I am with you on the open file option. I think it sucks and causes more problems. But some people are comfortable with this. The best bet is like you say, stop and start services with scripts.

Also, if your network is small, and not 24x7, then you can script services to stop and restart as appropriate. I don't use open file managers, and although I am not disparaging their robustness or stability, I don't agree with the concept in principle. Plus they add cost. DTC is the distributed transaction coordinator, most often associated with SQL. http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB/?File=Backups.TXT ASB http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jumlong Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 4:01 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Backup Strategy Questions I have questions: 1. For 3-5 servers, should I buy a tape drive for each server and perform the backup separately or use one or two servers to do the job ? 2. In latter case, how can I recover the servers with no tape drive ? 3. Some services keep files open, should I shut-down these files/services b4 backup: - Trend ServerProtect - MSDTC.LOG, don't know what it is - Files in c:\winnt\ntfrs\jet... - Files in c:\winnt\registration\... - DHCP, WINS services - NETLOGON.CHG ?? As always, thank you.
